Can I peel mango with it? And does the blade rotate while peeling or it's non-movable? I like the non-movable one.

I havent tried peeling mango with it but cant see why not. You may not like that it leaves slight ridges when it peels. The blade swivels -moves side to side.

Yes. It peels green mango very well which is tougher. I have never used to peel ripe mango though. It doesn't rotate, but it does swivel which I think is the word you were looking for. I am not sure why you would want a non-movable one, but this is the best designed peeler I have ever used. Because of its swiveling serrated blade, it cuts through smooth hard skin while convention peel just slips over the skin. Obviously, I highly recommend this peeler.

I have peeled mangoes with it! I know what you mean about the rotation. NO. If it did this thing would take off your skin on a regular basis. It should say pivot rather than swivel. Like a woman's razor, you want the head to pivot a little, but definitely not swivel!

I have peeled mango with it with no problem. The blade swivels a bit but it doesn't rotate. Have had it for 2 years it's still sharp as new and love it.

Yes you can peel mango with it. It does not rotate. It has a slight give just enough to adjust to smooth or serrated peeling. Enjoy!

doesn't this thing have TWO blades? the photo shows it peeling carrots and only one side of the blade is serrated - so is the other side dull or have a cutting surface too?

I think the skin on oranges would be too thick for the blade, and the orange is not solid enough to hold it's shape during the peeling process like an apple or potato is. I've tried to peel very ripe apples, and it wouldn't work because it's just not solid enough to stay on the metal spear.

I haven't used the non-pro peeler but I think I looked at it the other day for a gift. The handle doesn't seem as long and doesn't fit in my hand as well, the palm of my hand is just over 3 inches wide , and it didn't feel as sturdy in my hand. The cutting blade is really sharp on the Pro OXO peeler and I think it is a little longer than the other as well, but I haven't seen them side by side. I have peeled mangos that aren't to ripe, that was impressive to me. To me it was money well spent.

I'm sure it can though I've had no need to do it that way. The peeling blade is adjustable and also can be manually held away from the fruit as you turn it. Be aware that the size of the fruit will influence what you can and cannot do. Hope this helps

I use the green one for peeling potatoes - they do swivel somewhat but not 360 degrees. I know you didn't ask, but I'm left handed, plus I have arthritis, and I just LOVE this peeler! Peeling potatoes is soooo easy for me with this peeler and I'm not taking the potato with me when I'm peeling because it peels nice and thin. I will never use another peeler!

I have not used this to peel mangos yet, but it is very sharp, so I would imagine it would work fine.

You have to core and slice it but you do not have peel it. I love the one I bought for my grandkids so much that I bought one for myself!

I prefer a straight edge peeler for reds and bakers. However this works much better on sweet potato. I love it for butternut squash also! Don't be afraid to use it on the hard stuff, you may wear it out which is why i'm buying another after maybe 3 years of use and abuse. Great for apples too. I can't imagine living without one (or two if you want one for tomato and another for really tough peeling. My 17 year old son did manage to break the potato eye remover off, but he is 6' 2" 190# and not particularly delicate. (I can't blame Zyliss for that one, I love all their tools.)

Very doubtful. As mentioned, it works best with thin peels. If you did manage to get it started, it would probably take multiple trips with the blade, and you'd likely wind up with a dripping mess!

No it has two rotating blades, which is why it's on the cheaper side. Can also be used to mince fruits and vegetables.

It will cut out the size of the blade. So if the pineapple is larger than the blade, yes it will leave some. I scrapped the peeling to get juice and it made crushed pineapple. So I didn't get any waste. It made cleaning a pineapple a breeze. Really like it. I also got one for my friend and she likes hers also.

I been having a hard time using mine. It jams easily. The blade stops during cuts.

No, it core and slice at the same time. You can peel without slicing or coring

The super peel is great for all baking. I use it weekly for pizza (you need to use so little flour on the peel it helps the flavour in my mind), and sour dough breads. I really can't imagine using a regular peel any more. As for the question of what is the best model I have only used the composite version and my single complaint is that the canvas "belt" drifts left and right depending on how you use it as it does not have a groove to slide in like the original wooden design. Related to this design "flaw" the canvas is not rectangular the entire length. To slide around the handle it has two straps on the back that can creep up to the front leaving a small gap when fully pulled back. That being said whichever model you grab I think you will be very happy, it is just such a clever little tool.

I have only used it minimally for that....find it does okay with blueberries and softer fruit like that but would not use it for tougher fruits. Its blades are better suited to liquids and soft things like peanut butter. I should mention that I smushed up the blueberries first. The little plastic spinner is really for liquids and such.

I have not tried. We have a different peeler for hard or firm veggies. We use this one to peel mangos and it is excellent for that.
